Explain like I am five years old.

I do not know anything about this thing, even after clicking on the link. I was hoping you would be able to explain to me what this thing is about.

Game jam - itsa challenge to complete a game in certain period of time. It’s not about polishing or being good, it’s about starting and more importantly finishing a game project. It’s basically devember challenge, bit squished in 5 days and asking for a finished game.
They haven’t announced the theme, which is a bit worrying for me. The theme can be anything from text adventure to open would sandbox. Or it can be dogs… Nobody knows.

Thank you :blush:
You are so nice.

Well, all they ask is functioning game. I can make Pong clone in a couple hours, so theres that.
It all depends on the theme. If the theme is not too limiting I should be able to do it while keeping up with the Devember challenge here.

Yeah bro. Pong would be so easy to do, you could totally do both.

Giving it a quick google someone programed a pong clone in javascript in like 1 hour. You got this.

Yeah, but it all depends what theme are they gonna throw at me.
They’ll say Christmas and I’ll have to do something with that… Pong kinda won’t fit…
Can you tell I’m excited? Cause I am…

Oohh, it would be fun if when the player is doing poorly the bauble/present turns into a lump of coal.
